Lena Mattsson’s synchronised video triptych I betraktarens öga was shown in 2014
at Moderna Museet Malmö. Both the video triptych and the documentary film shed
light on the life and times of the myth, man and human being Bo Cavefors. The film

by Conny C-A Malmqvist. C-salen.
In the film Den kulturelle onanisten (The Cultural Masturbator) Lena Mattsson focuses
the camera on questions about censorship; censorship is something both she and
Bo Cavefors have been exposed to. She illustrates in an artistic and poetic way,
the right to express oneself in words and images. The film is 34:20 minutes long.
Lena Mattsson gives a short introduction to the films. Don’t miss the exhibition
